  • Base insert for traffic delineator posts
    Patent number: 9551121
    Abstract: A detachable base insert for use with a traffic delineator post assembly to enhance durability of the post assembly is provided. The traffic delineator post assembly includes a tubular post member and a post base comprising a central opening able to receive the tubular post member. The base insert includes a tubular insert member disposed within an interior wall of the bottom portion of the tubular post member, and a base ring coupled to a bottom portion of the tubular insert member. The base ring serves as a barrier between the bottom of the tubular post member and the ground surface, thereby minimizing surface wear of the tubular post member. The detachable base insert replaces a worn out base retention ring on the tubular post member.
